I wonder what the venn diagram of end users who disable Javascript and also block cookies by default looks like. As the former is already something users have to do very deliberately so I feel the likelihood of the latter among such users is higher.

There's no cookies disabled error handling on the site, so the page just infinitely reloads in such cases (Cloudflare's check for comparison informs the user cookies are required—even if JS is also disabled).

w3m hasn't been updated since 2023, and the author hasn't even had any activity on GitHub since July of that year, either, it seems - which given he's had at least 3 contributions a year since 2010 and then just suddenly dropped off the face of the earth, is pretty concerning to say the least.

It seems like out of Lynx, Links, and w3m, Lynx is the only one still under active development with a recent-ish release. w3m seems to be completely dead.
